I just replaced the dual cigarette lighter part of the power cord.  Fuse spring on one end had gotten cooked and lost its spring.  Works great now!!

Great video, thank you.

I've had nothing but issues with my Bowie since I bought it new. At first, it ate igniters. No big deal replacing them, but you would think the cables would be insulated a little better as their jackets seem to melt and the igniters would short. It's gone through three thus far.
Then, it was the temp sensor and the meat thermometer. Replaced both of those.

Lately, it seems to be the board that's giving me fits. The problems that manifested themselves were around the reliability of long-term cooking. You couldn't just set it and forget it. You'd come out to monitor the progress to find it had either shut down completely or the temperature would inexplicably plunge, and maybe it would recover, and maybe it wouldn't. Very frustrating.
Now, I can't seem to set the temp any higher than 260 degrees. It's only about 4 years old and I don't want to throw a buck-30 at a new board.
Guess I should'a got a Traeger...

Thanks for the tip it works for me 👍🙋

I fix these for locals and I have repaired about 100 of them so far.  Loosing all 3 motors? I may see motor drive issues but generally it's 1 not all 3 and a low cost Triac i believe a BTA20 or a Diode that opens up. If all 3 check connections by Removing power board form cpu board it is 2 screws top and bottom most likely the pins connecting the 2 boards have corrosion and making poor contact.

Love it.  Great video.  Seeing your jimmy rigged power connector,  I think you and I would be best friends lol!

Green mountain grill Davy Crocket.  When plugged in the off light is flashing and will not turn on.  Anybody experience this?

I have one that my aunt gave me before she passed it turns on 1,2,3 and runs but only goes up to 93 degrees

Ive been having trouble with getting to temp, and then holding it. I will set it to 225 it will get there hold for about 5 min. then drop to 190 and then slowly climb back up and repeat.????? seems like everything is working other then holding temp and getting their in a timely fashion

HI. Can i put a GMG no WiFi Control Circuit Board in a GMG with WiFi?

Was it displaying 000 after the 3rd sequence? Mine is doing that

Why would you not check your igniter ? Sounds like the fan is working ?

Capacitors are a very common failure point in circuit boards and are very cheap to buy.  Biggest challenge is unsoldering the existing caps but lots of videos on how to do this.  I spent $10 on 6 replacement caps which go to my refrigerator circuit board, put them in and was good as new.  Saved me $600 on a new board.   Something you might want to try next time.

My Davy Crockett wont light it there is ash on the glow plug the pellets can't touch it it cant light

The connectivity on these is total junk. Used to love how easy it was to connect to this grill. Now it won’t talk to my home network and unless my device is less than ten feet away from the grill the app is trash. I’m so close to tossing it in the lake right now

Cant change temp on mine

327 something relatively safe haaaa priceless btw gmg has newer ignitor and upgrade to help with startups

I'm buying one of these tonight for 50 bucks it's not working I was wondering did you get yours fixed

These smokers are trash.
Currently at an air b&w and this thing won’t work.
Really missing my traeger right now

I have all that stuff and when i go look for it I cant find it....lol
